Meningitis is an infection involving the pia mater, arachnoid, and subarachnoid space, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain and spinal cord. The pia matter is the innermost membrane enveloping the brain and spinal cord, followed by the arachnoid membrane, which is separated from the pia matter by the subarachnoid space. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless fluid found in the brain and spine. It is produced in the choroid plexuses of the ventricles of the brain and acts as a…
Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges. These meninges surround the brain and spinal cord which is very dangerous as Inflammation in these areas can affect your whole body and because it to stop working. This can also occur due to injury in the certain parts of your head. Bacterial meningitis is not as common as viral meningitis. But it is more dangerous than viral meningitis, it could even possibly be life-threatening without being promptly treated it can lead to many very serious…
Abstract Background: Hydrocephalus is an abnormal CSF collection in brain cavities, within the cerebral ventricles caused by a blockage in the drainage or insufficient absorption of the fluid [1]. It is categorized either congenital or acquired [1]. Hydrocephalus can be diagnosed by detailed history, physical examination and radiological examination [1]. MRI is considered the method of choice because It allows us to evaluate various parts of the brain and certain associated conditions that may…
Judge, Jackson, Shaw, Scott, and Rich (2007) performed a meta-analysis, which explored the impact of self-efficacy on task- and work-related performance, while holding individual variables constant. Through performing a multivariate analysis of these data, they found that the impact of self-efficacy on work performance was affected by several variables. Judge et al. (2007) found that self-efficacy provided greater incremental validity, or value added, when the complexity of the relevant job or…
taken very literally and seriously. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain, enlarging the head and causing brain damage (MedicineNet, 2016). Hydrocephalus can be a result of the ventricles producing too much cerebrospinal fluid. There can also be an obstruction which reduces the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, as well as inadequate absorption of the cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream (Boston Children 's Hospital, 2016). Diagnosis of hydrocephalus…
An Existentialist Pretending to be an Adlerian While I believe Adlerian therapy is the best practice for me working with clients, existentialism has played a primary role in my personal development over the past ten years. The concept that “The existentialist does not view death negatively but holds that awareness of death as a basic human condition gives significance to living” became crystal clear to me in 2006 (Corey, 2017, p 145). Following nearly a year of exponentially increasing pain, I…
the meningiomas become large. Larger tumors compress brain tissue and nerves that are associated with the brain and spinal cord, and reactive swelling in brain tissue around the tumor causes symptoms in the patient. The blocking of cerebral spinal fluid causes an accumulation resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus, and blocking of blood flow occurs when veins or arteries are…
which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain (Mayo Clinic 2014). The causes of this disorder are still not well understood, but it may result from inherited genetic abnormalities, developmental disorders, tumors, and other injuries to the head that may cause a blockage. This blockage prevents the excess CSF that builds up in the brain from exiting, which adds pressure on the brain tissue that can lead to brain damage (NIH, 2012). Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that surrounds the…
• Kimberly Cooper, Penny Ferrell, Jasmine Buchanan, Kaitlyn Boyd, Shana Forman, Angel • None • Shana Forman • We met in the dining room after our Social Work IV class at the UM-Tupelo campus. Where is the task group in terms of developmental stages? In our task group the evidence from Tuckman’s development model forming, storming, norming, and performing helped us establish where we needed to start. Each one of these steps builds off the previous one and with every new piece of research…
At CDR, the group is called Parent Group. This meeting was held in the morning from 9:30 AM until 11:30 AM, on April 20, 2016. There were about four to five parents present within the group who chose to stay and discuss topics within the group and connect with others. Purpose of the group or meeting Parents who attend this Parent Group are able connect with different parents/adults whose children are attending Developmental Playgroup. This is a time in which parents can have a light breakfast,…
